Improving Food Safety and Quality with Irradiation

Today the food industry is under more pressure than ever before to ensure food safety and quality. As the leading developer and operator of E-beam food treatment systems, we proudly replace dangerous chemicals and reduce pathogens in fruits and vegetables with safer electron beam processing.

Our patented Electronic Cold-PasteurizationTM (ECPTM) processing uses a high energy form of irradiation to treat foods for insect infestation, bacteria, mold and pathogens -- replacing out-dated fumigation, methyl bromide and hot water treatment. ECP processing moves fruits, vegetables and herbs through the E-beam, for only milliseconds on a high-speed conveyor, while maintaining cold chain integrity. Products can also be treated in final retail packaging without damaging or discoloring the packaging.

Pathogen reduction

Safer, better quality food

Reduce brand risk and liability

Provides unprecedented case-level traceability

Reduces FSMA and FSVP compliance risks and costs

“I’ve worked in food safety for over twenty years, and I’ve never been more excited about a technology than I am about ScanTech Sciences’ Electronic Cold-Pasteurization for the produce industry. It is going to revolutionize postharvest food treatment because it replaces chemical fumigation, extends product shelf life, and acts as a log reduction on pathogens”
